Use seedrng for seeding the random number generator

Browse Source 
The RNG can't actually be seeded from a shell script, due to the
reliance on ioctls. For this reason, the seedrng project provides a
basic script meant to be copy and pasted into projects like OpenRC and
tweaked as needed: https://git.zx2c4.com/seedrng/about/

This commit imports it into OpenRC and wires up /etc/init.d/urandom to
call it. It shouldn't be called by other things on the system, so it
lives in rc_sbindir.

Closes #506.
Closes #507.
